Editor's Notes
- Islands
- Taiwan is slightly smaller than Maryland and Delaware combinedWe have seven beautiful offshore islands. They all have different features.For example, the largest offshore island is Penghu. It characterized by basaltic rocks, carol reefs, and beaches.Ludao, which means green island is a volcanic island.Lanyu is inhibited mainly by Tau tribes’ people and they keep much of their traditional culture and lifestyle. It features both cultural and natural resources.Area : 36,000 square kilometersPopulation : 23 milliontropical; marine; rainy season during southwest monsoon (June to August); cloudiness is persistent and extensive all yearTaiwan's tropical, sub-tropical, and temperate climates provide clear differentiation between the different seasons.

- Our government has established 8 national parks and 13 national scenic areas to preserve Taiwan's best natural ecological environment and cultural sites. the first to be established, includes a beautiful coast line, beach area and tropical forest.This is the most famous area that foreigners would like to go. It is said “the Hawaii of Asia. “Chufor：Nature ground firelocated outside the east gate of Hengchuen, is so called because nature gas that comes from the fissure裂縫 of underground mudstone 泥岩is able to ignite 點燃fire that make the place looks like “fire coming out of ground” (so is the Chinese meaning). The landforms here are mudstone that has many fissures; therefore, the fire would move about. Anyway the present site of Chufor is not the original one, It was moved some place from another.(land area 17,731 hectares and sea area 14,900 hectares)
- Taroko National Park is famous for its marble gorge. the smallest land area of the eight national parks, has a volcanic landform.大屯火山群彙的地質資源，除了有13處溫泉、四散分布的大大小小噴氣孔，以及噴氣孔周邊黃色的硫磺結晶，與氣勢磅磁、霧氣蒸騰的地熱之外；火口湖與斷層，亦是火山區內最典型的景觀特徵。Hot springsSulfur

- Compared to the previous picture of Taiwan. We can see that aboriginal is away from the immigrants.The Flying Fish Festival is a fishing ceremony .the tribe’s people believe that fish are gifts from the gods, and they treasure this natural resource. Their traditional stone houses are building mostly underground to avoid extremes of temperature as well as the ravages of typhoons,Seediq BaleTaiwan film industry is growing. This year , there is a movie called Seediz Bale. Which is one of the 14 aboriginal tribes.During the Japanese rule of Taiwan, the Seediq were forced to lose their own culture and give up their faith. It is a history film.You can find it in America, so check it out.The Flying Fish Festival is a fishing ceremony held sometime beginning in the second or third month of the lunar calendar, and it runs for approximately four months. The festival is divided into different parts including the blessing of the boats, praying for a bountiful catch, summoning the fish, first fishing night ceremony, fish storing ceremony, and fishing cessation ceremony. The men of the tribe wear loincloths, silver helmets, and gold strips, and face the sea to pray for a bountiful catch. Participation is restricted to men.
- We have many festivals in a year. Most of them are similar to China , but we may celebrate in different ways.Here, we introduce lantern festival.Colorful and lanterns of all sizes and shapes have always been main attractions of the Lantern FestivalThe Taipei Lantern Festival is held for several days at the National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, reaching its peak on the day of the Lantern Festival itself. There is a gigantic lantern depicting this year's Chinese zodiac animal, . There are also many traditional lanterns, electromechanical lantern displays, and large themed lantern floats designed by different companies.The Kaohsiung Lantern Festival is held along the Love River. There are also musical performances helping to out the whole city is in a festive mood. 聽説佛教有正月十五日僧人觀佛舍利，點燈敬佛的做法，就命令這一天夜晚在皇宮和寺廟裏點燈敬佛，令士族庶民都挂燈。he Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival is one of the most colorful activities of the Lantern Festival.Pingxi is a remote hillside town. In former times, those who worked or farmed in the mountains faced the risks of being robbed or killed; so the people used lanterns to tell their families they were safe. The lanterns have lost their function as a warning signal, and today they are a symbol of peace and good fortune.The fireworks display put on by the God of War Temple in Yanshui, Tainan City is one of the more popular and much awaited events during the Lantern Festival.The display starts one day before the Lantern Festival with the tour of the god's sedan chair, accompanied by the discharge of firecrackers. The noise, lights, and festivities that follow continue well into the following morning.思念親人，渴望團圓
- The seventh month of the Chinese calendar is the Chinese Ghost Month. Traditionally, it starts from dawn on the first day, when the gates of the netherworld open, and ends on the 29th day of the month, when the gates close. People Holt rituals to petition for salvation from disasters and misfortune during the celebration, which reaches a peak on the 15th day.Zhongyuan General Salvation CeremoniesIn folk tradition, on the day of Zhongyuan Festival every household has to prepare meat, fruits, fresh flowers, and other sacrificial items; they then offer these to the hungry ghosts at a temple, or on a temporary altar table set up in front of their homes. They also ask monks to say prayers for their deceased loved ones as well as those lost souls who have no living descendants left on earth. This is known as ZhongyuanPudu, or General Salvation.The ceremonies take place in temple and on streets. On the afternoon of the Pudu, local residents prepare offerings and carry them to the main altar at a temple to join in the ceremonies there. For the street festivities, local residents prepare chicken, duck, and fish for offerings in front of their homes in a ceremony known as doorway worship.Launching of the Water LanternsThe launching of water lanterns is a longstanding custom. Its most important purpose is to help light the way for the lost souls in the water, call the souls to come on land to enjoy the offerings. It is also said that the further a lanterns floats, the better the fortune that the clan it represents will enjoy in the coming year.
